Just watched Blue Valentine – I “liked” it, but not in a traditional entertainment seeking kind of way (not that I was expecting that.) Movies like this I definitely appreciate, and it will surely stay with me for a while, but I don’t have any reason to ever want to revisit it again. Great editing, wonderful music, and obviously the performances were gang-busters they were so damn good. I wish both Gosling and Williams were nominated, but imho if only one of them was allowed a spot, then I do feel that they made the right decision in recognising Williams in this role. I can’t wait to see Another Year on monday night!

Also, has anyone seen Kaboom yet? I am watching it tomorrow on Sundance VOD and I for one cannot fucking wait. I would love to start 2011 with a bang and that movie looks like it might just do the trick.

there really isn’t anything quite like Gregg Araki’s latest film “Kaboom”, which I just saw. This is an insane, sexy, and wildly entertaining film that one must see to fully appreciate the audacity of this outrageous film.

Ever seen Word Wars or Scrabylon? They’re documentaries about the world of competitive Scrabble, and while I came onto the scene too late to appear in the films, I’m (vaguely) a member of that community. I think we need a narrative film that involves a protagonist who’s heavily into Scrabble.
